Can Jira host capacity data for sprint?

[Anita Chitragar]

I have used Team Foundation Server which easily allow setting team members, capacity per team member and holidays in sprint.  Does Jira have these features?

As stated by @Trudy Claspill , here is the link for Advanced Roadmap for Jira on Capacity planning - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/manage-capacity-in-advanced-roadmaps/

I read the article and I am not seeing the sprint capacity value to be able to edit per sprint.  Is there a permission that I need to request my admin to grant me to be able to access and manage this in the sprint velocity tracker?

If you are not seeing the sprint capacity value as described here:

...then you have not correctly configured your roadmap to using capacity.

Take a look at this page:

Jira Cloud Premium has some capacity planning features in its Advanced Roadmaps feature, but otherwise Jira does not natively have that level of capacity planning. You would need a third party app added to your Jira instance.

Jira does not provide any individual capacity planning for a Sprint (it's seen as a bit of an Scrum anti-pattern)  

Sprint Planning in Jira provides a Scope (sum of Story points or estimated time) against their velocity.    Insights button also provides some hints to help a team plan against their velocity.

For individual commitment I would suggest using the Dashboard Pie Chart control, grouped by Assignee and using JQL to pull in Issues for the next sprint.  It won't show story points per user, but would show number of assigned issues per user which could be a guide.
